HOW  IT ALL STARTED :

" After retiring for a couple of years from the IT industry , I was in search of something to do. Something that I am interested in and not so stressful.

I bumped into eBay by selling one of my collectibles. I enjoyed the whole process of auction. I started selling my second, third .. collectibles."

                            BUSINESS PLAN   

VISION :

"TO BE A RESPONSIBLE PROFESSIONAL eBAYER AND WELL RESPECTED BY THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY" 

MISSION:

" To sell my collectibles to targeted buyers on the eBay online auction site."

OBJECTIVES :

- To offer quality products at reasonable prices for auction ;

- To provide good and fast services to my customers ;

- To search for serious bidders taking over my collectibles** ;  

- To earn some returns through sales of my collectibles ;

- To acquire knowledge (technical & business aspects) on eBay ;

- To enjoy the exciting and frustrating moments at eBay auction time.

OPPORTUNITY :

I have retired and my children are not interested in my collectibles.. I turned to eBay;

With plenty of idle time, eBay would be one of the better choices for me to make use of my time meaningfully and constructively.

BUSINESS MODEL / STRATEGY :

   Slightly above average-priced collectibles   

From my collectibles, gradually and slowly put them up for auctions. Identify those which are hot favourites among bidders and make plan to sell  them .

PRICING POLICY :

I take into consideration that my bidders are seeking lower prices for taking the risk to buy the collectibles from me.

I may test a few on eBay and finally, I decided on my starting price of my collectibles.   

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES :

Strength : Currently no issues on running out of items to sell as I have access to a vast inventory to be put for sale.

Weakness : Photos are always blur. I just cannot get the focus right! Need to improve on the skill of photo takings.
